Denying sadness only intensifies its impact making me its victim. There need not be any victims with sadness, just sad people for a time.
This too shall pass….
The light of day brings perspective to these once nighttime tormentors who loomed so large in the dark.
I will not “solve” these sadnesses with the mind, but I can hold them with my heart.
This is much more than putting on a happy face or gritting one’s teeth and bearing it.
This is love in action!
We train the mind through meditation and yoga to be the witness so it will be there to serve us during difficult times.
The heart’s compassion is the middle way which brings acceptance, not struggle.
May I be a student of compassion!
